I think three-to-five years ahead minimum. I have a short-term plan, a five-year plan and a decade plan.
I always try to act as though there is a little boy or a little girl around, and I try never to do anything that would give them a bad example.
We are fortunate and blessed to have a partner of Harvey Schiller's stature, who shares our vision for the future of the Dodgers, the city of Los Angeles and our great baseball fans throughout the world.
I can remember when Billy wouldn't say six words. Now you can't get the microphone away from him.
The difference between the old ballplayer and the new ballplayer is the jersey. The old ballplayer cared about the name on the front. The new ballplayer cares about the name on the back.
We all obviously need others to look up to, and be inspirational to us. Ford did a great job as far as putting the presidency back where it belonged, getting the trust back after Nixon. And President Reagan has been one of the most influential presidents.
I'm sure everyone knows that my heart is and always will be with the players, the fans and the entire Dodger family. I've cared about the Dodgers for nearly my entire life, and nothing can change my allegiance to this franchise.
Lasorda's standard reply when some new kid would ask directions to the whirlpool was to tell him to stick his foot in the toilet and flush it.
I used to look like an American flag. The Padre uniform makes me look like a taco. Actually, the transition has been great. Ive made 25 new friends, and I never thought I wanted to be anything other than a Dodger, but this is fun.
I did commit adultery, if adultery is having a relationship in a marriage with another woman. I learned from that.
Baseball is the life.
I had a prostatectomy in the fall and fortunately it was encapsulated and I didn't have to go through chemotherapy.
I really think there is a certain destiny in my life to lead people.
Major League Baseball has prostate awareness for two weeks leading up to Father's Day, and I want to get involved in that.
